"Please make this a miracle..."
Is she really dead? Will Jisung forget her? If she's not dead, where is she...? If she's dead, what about Jisung?
"Will you forgive me?"
Dear Cruel World,
Thank you....

The second book of 'Dear Cruel World'...
"Mrs. Kang..." I said in a quiet voice to Mr. Kang's wife.
"Yes, honey?" She replied back.
"When am I going back to school?" I asked her.
"Ah right... I need to take you to the store to get some clothes for school. You know, in the US, we don't really have uniforms and you're a high school student now, right?"
I nodded my head. She smiled. "Ok... After I'm done with this, we'll go to the store and buy you new clothes, ok?"
[Time skipped]
After shopping, I threw all of my bags on the floor and hanged it in the closet.
The next day, which was a Monday, I started school, with Kang Chanhee. After getting ready, I went through my closest, looking for something to wear. When I found my clothes that I'm going to wear for today, I held it up and took a quick look at it and wore it.

"Ok... Check...!" I said, looking at myself in the mirror then walked downstairs.
"Good morning, Jiyeon!" Mrs. Kang said.
"Good morning, my sunshine!!" Chanhee said.
I glared at him but played it off by laughing sarcastically and ate my breakfast.
At school...
Since we still had 30 minutes left until school's about to start, I sat on the bench, waiting until Chanhee approached me with his group of friends. "Hey Jiyeon! These are my friends, Brandon, Gabe, Tyler, Adam, and Hye (pronounced as 'he')" he said in Korean, "and this is my friend, Jiyeon or you can call her Jessica. Well, Jiyeon is her Korean name but now, she's got an American name, which is Jessica. Jessica Byun." He said in English to his friends.
"How old are you?" I believe that guy was Gabe, asked me that question.
"Are you a freshman, sophomore, junior, or a senior...?" Tyler asked me. "Nah... She looks more like a freshman or a sophomore to me." Adam said with a smile, fixing his gaze on me.
Chanhee leaned close to my ears and started whispering. "It's ok if you don't understand what they're saying, I'll do it for you. A gentleman should be kind." He smiled and moved away. "She-"
But before he could say anything, I cut him off and started speaking. "I can understand everything," I said in English, "I studied English and about your question, I am apparently 14 years old and a freshman. Born in January 20, 2002." I said with a straight face while looking at Chanhee. "I'm not stupid, ok...?" I said in Korean to Chanhee. He just scratched his neck, awkwardly and gave me a embarrassed smile.

The bell rang for us to go to our class. Eventually, I'll be having class alone but it's ok. Who wants to be with that Chanhee guy anyways...? Not me...
